What I got out of Vegas

Yeah, it kind of surprised me to see all the affiliate managers sitting with other affiliate managers, and there should be more reps willing to introduce themselves and whisper sweet nothings into my ear -- that's how my Epoch rep won me over (the cocksucker)!

I do a little bit of introducing myself when I can, but when I walk near reps that are talking to other reps I'm not going to butt in. I walked up to the bar to grab a beer and the bartender was working the other side so we're waiting a bit and I say hi to the guy next to me and ask him what he does. He was in hosting and asks me what I do, and I told him "I'm an affiliate." He laughed and said they need more of those at shows because there's really no one for them to pitch to at the shows anymore. Then he left without saying another word.

One way to avoid the random wooing is like BDok said, set up meetings with companies you want to meet with ahead of time, or just stand in the bar and offer free drinks as apparently most reps are alcoholics. |drunk|
